Ep 24 - Jin Jun Mei Bursts With Honey, Malt, And Floral Flavors

The host and one of the tea importers from Trident Cafe and Teas, Jake Dirnberger, and filmmaker, Josh Hyde, steep a Jin Jun Mei, or “Golden Eyebrows” (names for the fuzzy golden buds which comprise this tea), a newly famous and highly sought after black tea from the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian China. Harvested early in the Spring, this tea is both oxidized and roasted. It is a highly unique black tea with an especially viscous mouthfeel and complex malty flavors. Our Jin Jun Mei is honey-sweetness forward, with mouth-filling malts and leaves and lingering piney aftertaste with lots of tingling-sensation. This is really one that has to be experienced to be believed; there’s no other tea quite like it. Find the highest quality teas at Trident Cafe and Teas.
